Our Services

Electrical work tailored to Shoreline homes and businesses.

  • Upgrade from 100 to 200 amps or higher
  • Full load assessment for your home size

Why Local Expertise Matters in Shoreline

Shoreline homes have distinct needs. Mid-century ramblers in Ballinger often run on original 100-amp service. Newer townhomes near the light rail station demand heavier loads. Homes near Richmond Beach and Innis Arden sometimes need waterproofing considerations for outdoor work.

We know Shoreline's residential zoning, building code inspectors, and the electrical permit process through the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries.

Familiar with Shoreline Building Types

We've worked on countless Shoreline homes built in the 1950s–1980s—ramblers, split-levels, contemporaries—as well as newer condos and townhomes with modern wiring demands. We understand the electrical surprises that come with each era.

Permitting & Inspection Experts

Shoreline's electrical permits go through the state, not the city. We handle the application, scheduling, and coordination so your project stays on track and meets all inspection requirements.

Honest, Straightforward Work

We explain what needs to be done, why it matters, and what code requires—no pressure, no upsell. Your safety and satisfaction are the goal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my Shoreline home need a new electrical panel?

If your home is 30+ years old and has a 100-amp main panel, you likely can't support modern heating, air conditioning, or EV charging. We assess your existing service and recommend an upgrade if needed.

Why do electrical permits go through the state, not the city?

Shoreline contracts with Washington State Department of Labor & Industries for all electrical permits and inspections. We handle this paperwork and coordinate the inspection for you.

Can you install an EV charger in my garage?

Yes. We'll run a 240-volt circuit from your panel to your garage (or driveway) and install a hardwired Level 2 charger with the proper breaker and protection.

What if I have old cloth or aluminum wiring?

Cloth and aluminum wiring can create fire hazards. We replace it with modern copper wiring to meet current code and improve safety. This typically requires a full or partial home rewire.

Can you help with my remodel project?

Absolutely. We work with general contractors, kitchen designers, and remodelers to add new circuits, outlets, and lighting as your project requires.

How do I know if my outlets are grounded?

We can test your outlets during a home assessment. If you have only two-prong outlets, your home likely lacks proper grounding, which modern appliances may require.
